We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.

Answer:
1. D
2. A
3. C
4. A
Step-by-step explanation:
Xy is the number
A) x + y = 7
B) 10y + x = 10x + y + 9
collecting terms of equation B
B) -9x + 9y = 9
multiplying A) by 9
A) 9x + 9y = 63 then adding it to equation B)
B) -9x + 9y = 9
18y = 72
y = 4
x = 3
The number is 34
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Take out 3x from both sides:
5x - 3x = 3x - 3x
2x = 0
2x + 9 = 1
Take out 9 from both sides:
9 - 9 = 1 - 9
0 = -8
Divide 2 from both sides:
